Udemy/RDCL Partnership
Udemy
Udemy, one of the online education giants responds to all these criteria. Founded in 2010, the aim of Udemy is to improve people’s life through learning, regardless of their starting points. Udemy is a market-based online learning platform that, as at January 2019, has over 30 million registered users across 192 countries that benefit from a wide library of 100,000 courses taught in over 50 languages by 42,000 instructors who are experts in their fields. Since its inception, there have been more than 190 million course enrolments. Udemy has rapidly expanded from its individual consumer market to the markets of corporate and government training. Many of the big companies from different industries, namely logistics, car manufacturing and sports, amongst others, have by now trusted Udemy for the professional development of their collaborators.
Udemy for Business (UFB) and Udemy for Government (UFG) are the divisions of Udemy that offer professional development courses, the former to corporates and the latter to governments. It has for mission to help employees and governments around the world to prepare for “whatever comes next.” The platform makes available a curated collection of 3000+ courses, across +75 categories, ranging from Data Science to Office productivity, through IT and Software.
Accessibility and practicality are also the best features of Udemy. Organizations save tremendous amount of time and money with Udemy as there is no need to set up a Data centre; that is there is no need to invest in additional hardware or in setting up a team to run the system. This is because UFB and UFG are offered as Software as a Service (SaaS), which in simple terms means that it is delivered over the internet. You do not have to physically buy the software and meet with the hassle of installing it. You can even create custom courses, where proprietary resources can be uploaded onto the platform and shared internally only. This can be done on your own intranet or Learning Management System if you wish to. It is also possible to customize your Learning Account with your own organization logo, background and unique URL. Everything is made for easy accessibility and smooth experience, just like you are accessing your favourite video platform or social media.
